Mainly the first one is very interesting, as far I as know, I never heard about "Vestel" trademark.
If so, please update the MSX Faq : http://www.faq.msxnet.org/hardware.html

Indeed... But the name Goldstar does ring a bell somewhere (see picture in the first link).
Maybe Goldstar and Vestel did a joined venture??

Ah, it's just a Goldstar FC-200 (a very common cheap MSX) with a Vestel logo on it...

Yes of course, but it's more or less like the Philips/Phonola brand.
So I think Vestel is eligible to be listed on http://www.faq.msxnet.org/hardware.html :-)
